It refers to one of King Solomon's twelve district governors, who were responsible for providing provisions for the king and his household. The name itself can be interpreted as "son of kindness" or "son of loving-kindness," reflecting a possible characteristic or the reputation of his family.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In the ancient Near Eastern context, names often carried significant meaning and were sometimes indicative of a person's character or the aspirations of their parents. The role of district governors during Solomon's reign was crucial for maintaining the kingdom's prosperity and stability. These officials were tasked with collecting taxes and resources from their respective regions to support the royal court. Ben-chesed's position highlights the organized administrative structure of Solomon's kingdom, which was known for its wealth and wisdom.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>from <a href="/hebrew/1121.htm">ben</a> and <a href="/hebrew/2617.htm">chesed</a><br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>"son of mercy," one of Solomon's leaders<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>Ben-hesed (1).<p><div align="center"><span class="smalltext"><iframe width="100%" height="85" scrolling=no src="/nasec.htm" frameborder=0 cellpadding=0></iframe></span></div><div class="vheading2">Brown-Driver-Briggs</div> <font class="hebrew2">בֶּןחֶֿ֫סֶד</font> <font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>proper name, masculine</b></font> (<em>son of mercy</em>) an officer of Solomon <a href="/interlinear/1_kings/4-10.htm">1 Kings 4:10</a>. <br><br><iframe width="100%" height="85" scrolling=no src="/bsoft2.htm" frameborder=0 cellpadding=0></iframe><div class="vheading2">Strong's Exhaustive Concordance</div>the son of Hesed <p>From <a href="/hebrew/1121.htm">ben</a> and <a href="/hebrew/2617.htm">checed</a>; son of kindness; Ben- Chesed, an Israelite -- the son of Hesed. <p>see HEBREW <a href="/hebrew/1121.htm">ben</a> <p>see HEBREW <a href="/hebrew/2617.htm">checed</a> <div class="vheading2">Forms and Transliterations</div>חֶ֖סֶד חסד Chesed ḥe·seḏ ḥeseḏ<div class="vheading2">Links</div><a href="/interlinear/matthew/1-1.htm">Interlinear Greek</a> • <a href="/interlinear/genesis/1-1.htm">Interlinear Hebrew</a> • <a href="/strongs.htm">Strong's Numbers</a> • <a href="/englishmans_greek.htm">Englishman's Greek Concordance</a> • <a href="/englishmans_hebrew.htm">Englishman's Hebrew Concordance</a> • <a href="/texts/matthew/1-1.htm">Parallel Texts</a></div></div><div id="centbox"><div class="padcent"><div class="vheading">Englishman's Concordance</div><b><a href="/text/1_kings/4-10.htm" title="Biblos Lexicon">1 Kings 4:10</a> </b><br><a href="/interlinear/1_kings/4.htm" title="Hebrew">HEB:</a> <span class="hebrew3"> בֶּן־ <b> חֶ֖סֶד </b> בָּֽאֲרֻבּ֑וֹת ל֥וֹ</span><br><a href="http://biblehub.com/nas/1_kings/4.htm" title="New American Standard Bible">NAS:</a> <span class="itali">Ben-hesed,</span> in Arubboth (Socoh<br><a href="/kjvs/1_kings/4.htm" title="King James Bible with Strong's">KJV:</a> <span class="itali">The son of Hesed,</span> in Aruboth;<br><a href="/interlinear/1_kings/4-10.htm" title="Biblos Interlinear Bible">INT:</a> <span class="itali">Ben-hesed</span> Arubboth (Socoh<p><i><a href="/hebrew/strongs_1136.htm">1 Occurrence</a></i><br /><br /><b><a href="/hebrew/strongs_1136.htm">Strong's Hebrew 1136<br>1 Occurrence</a></b><br><br><a href="/hebrew/chesed_1136.htm">ḥe·seḏ — 1 Occ.</a><br></div></div></td></tr></table></div><div id="mdd"><div align="center"><div class="bot2"><table align="center" width="100%"><tr><td><div align="center"> <script id="3d27ed63fc4348d5b062c4527ae09445"> (new Image()).src = 'https://capi.connatix.com/tr/si?token=51ce25d5-1a8c-424a-8695-4bd48c750f35&cid=3a9f82d0-4344-4f8d-ac0c-e1a0eb43a405'; </script> <script id="b817b7107f1d4a7997da1b3c33457e03"> (new Image()).src = 'https://capi.connatix.com/tr/si?token=cb0edd8b-b416-47eb-8c6d-3cc96561f7e8&cid=3a9f82d0-4344-4f8d-ac0c-e1a0eb43a405'; </script><br /><br />  <div id='div-gpt-ad-1529103594582-2'> </div><br /><br />  <div id='div-gpt-ad-1529103594582-0' style='max-width: 300px;'> </div><br /><br />  <div id='div-gpt-ad-1529103594582-3'> </div><br /><br />  <div id='div-gpt-ad-1529103594582-1' style='max-width: 300px;'> </div><br /><br />  <div align="center" id='div-gpt-ad-1531425649696-0'> </div><br /><br /> <ins class="adsbygoogle" style="display:inline-block;width:200px;height:200px" data-ad-client="ca-pub-3753401421161123" data-ad-slot="3592799687"></ins> <script> (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); </script><br /><br /> </div> <div id="left"><a href="/hebrew/1135.htm" onmouseover='lft.src="/leftgif.png"' onmouseout='lft.src="/left.png"' title="1135"><img src="/left.png" name="lft" border="0" alt="1135" /></a></div><div id="right"><a href="/hebrew/1137.htm" onmouseover='rght.src="/rightgif.png"' onmouseout='rght.src="/right.png"' title="1137"><img src="/right.png" name="rght" border="0" alt="1137" /></a></div><div id="botleft"><a href="#" onmouseover='botleft.src="/botleftgif.png"' onmouseout='botleft.src="/botleft.png"' title="Top of Page"><img src="/botleft.png" name="botleft" border="0" alt="Top of Page" /></a></div><div id="botright"><a href="#" onmouseover='botright.src="/botrightgif.png"' onmouseout='botright.src="/botright.png"' title="Top of Page"><img src="/botright.png" name="botright" border="0" alt="Top of Page" /></a></div><div id="bot"><iframe width="100%" height="1500" scrolling="no" src="/botmenubhchap.htm" frameborder="0"></iframe></div></td></tr></table></div></body></html>
